Agree, very often we do not notice the most amazing and incredible things. And how many interesting people living next to us, how many mysterious places, we often overlooked ... As practice shows, they are our city and region was very rich. What is only Ust-Medveditskaya range - known anomalous zone of Russia, "chosen" a UFO! But our story today about a few other mysteries order. Get ready, dear reader, for you we will have a tour of the places our small country, where popular rumor attributes the miraculous properties. They say they give health without drugs and in general have every happiness. The explanations that people tend to try to find in religion ...
Time to collect stones.
Ust-Medveditsky Holy Transfiguration Monastery - the most beautiful and ancient architectural field. Wonderful lie here literally at every turn. But the main miracle - it is a unique cave monastery. There is legend that, one sister, lived in the convent, seen near the temple svezhevyrytuyu land. Every morning, it became more and more. And soon it became clear that mother Arseniy sabotaging ... cave. Learning about it, all the nuns (and then there was six people) naprosilis to the mother in the assistant. But it has selected only three.
Today, anyone can walk in these caverns, however, say that previously they had been longer. Nearly three years ago, these caves Corps joined the monastery and went to town. Speaking, even that there was a tunnel under the Don with the output of the forest monastery on the opposite side of river. However, relatively recent architects have expressed some doubts, but retain evidence of people denying the monastery in 1928-m. Thus, they argued that really found the course leading to the Don. But directly from the water tunnel was flooded, and the hole just rubble ...
However, that survived (which is nearly one-quarter of the previous length) - is unique. It turns out that Jack built Arseniy not mindless maze. Through the "planning" the caves, she tried to describe the last days of Christ, the Holy week, the betrayal of Judas and the execution of Jesus. The caves are the two ways: one - is the way of Christ and the other - the Mother of God. Forming a circle, they lead to Calvary.
Another miracle of the Ust-Medveditskogo Savior-Transfiguration Monastery - this is the stone mother Arsenii. Multiple attempts to make it out of the caves have not been successful - the stone is constantly "ran." He found in different parts of the dungeons. According to mother pointed to the stone itself and the Virgin told him to pray. And today, at this shrine are visible fingerprints knees and palms the Mother Superior. Despite the fact that the old mother had become very few and very moving raspolnela, imprints of her fingers on the rock an incredibly thin and long. And no one arm has not yet coincide with the fingerprint! And yet the stone mother Arsenii mirotochit. Every visitor of the church can stand by the stone, to pray, to ask about something and attach to it. It is believed that the mother helps it to those who do so. And the thing is applied to the stone, it becomes sanctified. Where the remains of mother Arsenii, so far unknown, but old men who visit the monastery, said that they were at the monastery. "Wait, pray, and the mother of Arseniy will itself" - they say. By the way, before the closure of the monastery, apparently by nuns zamurovali some caves, fearing for the preservation of sacred sites. And to this day, people often feel in the caves quite unusual and a pleasant smell. But the power of saints, according to legends, fragrant, and it gives the faithful a reason to hope for another miracle.
Source of St. John the Theologian was revived after a hundred years.
Probably many of us saw between stops "Rokossovskogo Street" and "48-th School" in the regional center of a small shrine, nestle alone the right of the 2-y longitudinal in the valley of the Queen. But few know that this is for the chapel and for what it is. To get to the mysterious town, we had fairly pokruzhit to the private sector for the regional hospital, polazat by ravines, entirely porosshemu high grass. But it is not a small church was the main attraction, to which almost every day all year round are the people. Place for its construction has been chosen not accidentally. It turns out that in the early XX century in the valley of the River Queen beat the holy spring, to which pilgrims flocked from all over the county Tsaritsino. And during the Civil War wounded were treated here: the belief, the water has amazing properties heal. Several years ago a wonderful key cleared, to ennoble and identified the source of St. John the Theologian. Again, people are drawn here ...
Place around the source - it's a true green paradise: the step of descent, carved directly into the ground, raskidistye trees, the tranquil sound of water. It does not feel the flow of time - as if disconnected from their problems. From under the nearly vertical slope of the ravine a small trickle flowing clear water, a number - a small pool, there is a wooden cross, and above all these towers arbor. There is always a source of lively: people make ablution, crosses.
- Even though the water is very cold, - shared with me a "bather", - dip here, even in winter, and never been sick, the water is holy. Many of the diseases cured it. I've really go to a year here and I can say exactly that who visited him at least once, be sure to return.
Earth to graves of the blessed Martha cure for infertility?
On the tomb of the blessed Martha, which is located on the Central (Dmitrievsky) Cemetery Volgograd, known far beyond our region. Every Saturday, the ministers of the church of Saint Joseph in Astrakhan, which is located here, make a solemn progress on the grave of the blessed, because the place is considered holy. His father, Leonid, prior of the church, said that during the lifetime of Martha went to court Tsaritsyno, predicting the future and izlechivaya people. They say it was predrecheny and the First World and the Civil War. On his death blessed Martha Tsaritsino said that it would bury the three. And so it turned out: the last refuge of the ashes of a central cemetery.
But not only in the lives of Martha "works wonders." They say, and her burial place has miracle qualities. According to his father, Leonid, is only to make a piece of land from its tomb to the sore spot, it necessarily cured.
Here's just one of many cases of miraculous recovery. A young woman, which doctors have put a terrible diagnosis of infertility, desperation has to have a child. On the tomb of the blessed Martha, she did not know literally nothing, but heard about it was a friend. By deciding to help the grief of a person, the girl went to the Central Cemetery. Pray at the grave, took a piece of land, and brought friend, Velev keep it near the belly. And some time later and became pregnant. To believe or not believe in a miracle - of course, but rumors of the folk blessed Martha is becoming louder and louder. And the servants and workers of the church cemetery every night had to pour on the grave of fresh earth, that the next morning, people can come and take the lump holy ground.
Uryupinsk goat desire to perform.
In Uryupinsk, since a few years ago there appeared a monument Kose, local residents have opened it a wonderful feature. Say, granite block is able to fulfill wishes. However, as they say uryupintsy, kozochka embodied only the good dreams. It is believed that sufficient poteret its hard nose, think of something of their own, innermost, and in a few weeks, this desire fulfilled.
And ask the dream put into practice may even small children, because next to the stone kozochkoy worth kid. Rebyatnya be happy to spout his strokes are also hoping for a miracle.
Mayor Sam Uryupinsk Valery Sushko admitted that not once ran for a unique creation for help. As requested by the goat, Valery Pavlovich said not only artful smiles: all his requests, he said, kozochka performed.
Tractors were powerless ...
The official date of opening Kremensko-Ascension Monastery, located in the area Kletskom area, away from worldly vanities, considered in 1711. But the story of his much older. Hermitage was founded in 1693, but hermits settled here long before that. As with all installations of advanced age, has a rich and eventful history and the wonders of the monastery. Stone Temple in the name of the Ascension of the Lord began being built in 1763 at the expense of the then troop ataman Stepan Yefremov. The construction and decoration of church buildings has been spent around thirteen thousand gold. At the service in a beautiful temple is always flocked huge amount of people. There is even believed: before you go on a camping trip, the whole army Donskoe came under the monastery walls, in order to pray to God. Prayed there and return here to leave the wounded to medical treatment.
Soviet authorities, evidently, was evil, that which is worshiped more than her. And fiftieth year was "above" the directive: to destroy the temple to the ground. For this fit a tractor, tied to a rope wall and took for his dirty deed. But the rope broke ... Enormous efforts of all, managed to destroy one of the limits. At the blasphemy and ended because of a very strange and thought at some point the circumstances of the tractor caught fire, and the tractor-driver, afraid (I do not whether God's wrath?), Disappeared ...
The main shrine of the monastery - the icon of the Mother of God August. According to legend, September 18, 1914 under the city Avgustovom it was our soldiers. Russian troops were potesneny on the German front, and they had a hot battle. Then the Cossacks stood up to pray, and, as later told shocked witnesses, in a glowing cloud of God was his mother with a baby in her arms. Then here came the cross, and then everything disappeared. This case was described in the "Moscow Gazette. Sign justified: the battle army suffered an unusually low losses. And when his wife learned of the Cossacks mercy of Mother of God, they have ordered local iconographers immortalize the event. The inscription below states that "" This icon is built kazachek dependent on the health and saving soldiers' ... After that listed 52 names. To save the shrine from the Bolsheviks, had to cut the canvas into two parts - it was easier to hide. Now icon is restored.
One of the difficulties with which the brethren had, settled in Kremensko-Voznesenskaya is an acute shortage of drinking water. But this time the prayers of monks were heard: the day of the phenomenon of the Kazan Mother of God, near the Temple scored the source water that has a healing effect. Following the closure of the monastery is here people come to church holidays, which of course is very irritating local authority. And with the help of bulldozers source covered.
The locals still tell a story. During the war there was a small part of the Soviet troops. It was in the military, one a Muslim, which is highly ill, but when they come to the source, received healing. For the joy he had carved on tree bark its name and vowed that if the living back from the front, you always come here. And so went that in 1956, when the second time, open psychiatric hospital, its director has been appointed it is the people. So, seeing the source fallen asleep, he and his wife on the night of his break.
And that is the source of water is little, the monks saw the penalty for religious wildness contemporaries.
- And does not this savagery - complain monastery - when drunk, half the tourists from the coast of the Don, where the tourist come here their sins "zamalivat so the health of the LORD request. But, despite everything, we are confident that the source and to revive it once again pull people from throughout the region. At Gorodischensky spring ride from Khabarovsk.
Another miraculous place on earth Volgograd - it is an urban-type Gorodishche (old name - well, red). In the mass consciousness of local breeding sites associated with the more famous Poultry and chalet array. But in the long beam Uvarovskoy beat miraculous key. It is known from the first half of XVIII century and the beginning of XIX here - just for the ninth Friday to Easter - was discovered Paraskieva icon. She placed in several churches, but every time she disappeared and is provided at the source. In the end, at the source of the chapel was erected. Tuda identified and put the holy image. Each year, the source arrived several thousands of pilgrims from all over Russia.
- In old times there happened a year and seven thousand people, - says the priest gorodischenskogo Icon Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow" Father Basil Zhelubov. - Now that's true, all the more modest, but the worship gradually revived. At the ninth Friday of Easter we are having our church religious procession. What is remarkable, coming mostly not even from Volgograd and from the Volga: a woman from there, we even cured of cancer. Even from Khabarovsk, people came to us - such is the glory ...
Holy place again. And not even from the ashes ... As is evident from the archival documents of the Soviet time here poili animals. Here, in particular, asked Secretary of the Presidium of Stalin-Gradskiy executive from 1936, the Commissioner for the Russian Orthodox Church to close the chapel. "The chapel built over the spring (well), which occurred around worship okropleniem with water from a source - said an official in the Commission on Worship at ARCEC Kremlin. - About the chapel and spring are livestock farms. The existence of the garden and farm calls for free access to the springs and the use of water ... " By the way, this document describes in general a fantastic number of pilgrims who came to gorodischensky source - up to 30-40 thousand people annually.
Strictly speaking, the current source is located slightly away from the "canonical location. He was in line and the entire valley was covered with mud from a pond to break. Now on this spot for a pool of pilgrims, and the source to settle a bit on the sidelines.
Conducted a study of the water, but they did not have.
- We were told that the water is quite normal, "- says Father Basil. - Actually paraskevinskih sources in Russia are many, this would be a protector of the holy spring.
The dream of the prior - to make a small pilgrimage center, "so people can come here, a dip in the holy water, and live without a little TV," - said Father Basil. Now, two hectares of land around the spring passed the church, so that the case for funds for construction.
In the works of regional specialists came to me to indicate one more curious aspect of the benefit "gorodischenskih waters." For example, activists Tsaritsino Society sobriety arranged in time to march in Gorodishche "enshrined the holy icon martyr Paraskeva.
What facilitates the sacred meal to combat alcohol abuse, we have not been able to find out. But what is interesting: in the temple icon of Our Lady "Joy of All Who Sorrow" is the icon of Neupivaema bowl. Icon, so to speak, normal, production sofrinskoy workshop is a name and a copy of the famous icons - the most honored among the Russian "martyrs of alcoholism." But in the temple gorodischenskom it is one of the most revered of the parishioners and worshipers. Such a turn of history here ...
